MODUS OPERANDI:
Stage — 1
The scammer (girl) typically creates a profile with fancy pictures/videos appearing to be genuine and gets the verified tag on her profile on the matrimonial app. She does send a request to connect a potential victim (boy). Thereafter within a short span of time, she and her fake family member(s) have been winning the trust of the victim using multiple video calls, talking to his family members and finalizing the schedule of marriage etc.
Stage — 2
Further, after creating an emotional affair for a month or more, the girl, and her family (scammers gang) convince 'potential victims' to invest in crypto, by showing their ultra-modern lifestyle. The target person (victim) is psychologically pressurized by a scammer (girl) for taking quick decisions to invest in crypto, then he transfers a big chunk of money to a crypto investment platform (or UPI QR code) provided by her over a private chat. After some transactions, the victim's account gets blocked at that crypto platform. But the scammer keeps asking the victim to make further investments to secure the struck money.
